IMPROVEMENT IN SUSPENSORY-DRAWERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 198,516, dated December 25, 1877; application filed December 6, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1', Monrrz KRIGKL, of New York city, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Suspensory Drawer or Pantaloon, of which the following is a specification:

Figure 1 is a face View of my improved suspensory drawer or pantaloon, showing the same applied. Fig. 2 is a plan of the pattern for my improved suspensory-drawer. Fig. 3 is a face View of the same before application.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

The object of this invention is to produce in one garment a suspensory and also a pair of drawers or pantaloons; and the invention consists in making the drawers or pantaloons with a flat and broad crotch, which will serve as a suspensory.

Heretofore the garments hereinabove named were usually made with a sharp crotch, formed by a seam that extends from the front to and along the back. Such garments are actually detrimental to health, in crowding the crotch upward in form of a sharp ridge, and they aid in the production of such diseases as rupture and the like. They are constructed upon a comparatively irrational plan, as they fail to support and protect the parts that should be supported.

In the improved drawers A, the crotch a is formed of a considerable width of fabric, that extends from one leg to the other, as shown in Fig. 3, and which, during wear, constitutes a sort of suspensory-bag, as indicated in Fig. 1. By this simple construction, which may, as in Fig.2, be produced by cutting the front and back portion of the drawers or pantaloons (without reference to the legs) from a continuous piece of fabric, which is made broad at the middle, a crotch properly rounded from back to front is produced, and one that will, during wear, be properly folded into a suspensorybag, as in Fig. 1.

For men on horseback, as well as on foot, this improved suspensory-crotch will be very convenient, because, being made in one piece with the drawers or pantaloons, it will dispense with the necessity of using a separate suspensory and series of stays thereto pertaining. The drawers may be made without legs, as in Fig. 2.

I claim as my invention- The drawers or pantaloons made with the suspensory crotch-piece a, constructed substantially as herein shown and described.
